ObjectiveTo investigate and manage an imported dengue fever (DF) outbreak in Shanghai in 2024, to summarize the experience and lessons learned from the on-site management, and to provide a reference basis for future prevention and control of DF. MethodsEpidemiological investigation and case search were carried out for an imported DF outbreak in Shanghai, 2024. Real-time fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect dengue virus nucleic acid in the serum samples from cases. Meanwhile, emergency vector surveillance and mosquito control measures were carried out in the affected areas, and the effectiveness of the management was evaluated. ResultsAccording to the epidemiological investigation, it was confirmed that this epidemic was a family cluster of imported DF, with both cases infected in Thailand and developed symptoms successively after returning to Shanghai. Laboratory testing identified the pathogens as dengue virus serotype-3 (DENV-3). In the core and precautionary area, ultra-low-volume space spraying and residual spraying were combined to kill adult mosquitoes, and at the same time, comprehensive cleaning and elimination of mosquito breeding sites was carried out. After 2 weeks, the Breteau Index (BI) in the core area decreased from 20 to 5, and the mosquito net trap index decreased from 2 mosquitoes (net·hour)-1 to 0.67 mosquitoes (net·hour)-1. Continuous implementation of mosquito control measures kept the BI and net trap index below the safety thresholds [BI<5 and mosquito net trap index <2 mosquitoes (net·hour)-1] both in the core and precautionary area. ConclusionEarly diagnosis and isolation of patients, combined with rapid suppression of the density of vector Aedes mosquitoes, are the key measures to prevent the transmission of imported DF cases.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy of endoscopic nasal surgery for sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC) with orbital invasion, the factors affecting the prognosis of patients, and the treatment strategies for preserving the eyeball.Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study, including 60 cases of SNSCC with orbital invasion treated in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from October 2009 to October 2019. The cohort comprised 39 males and 21 females, aged 33-72 years. Orbital invasion was graded: Grade Ⅰ (destruction of the orbital bone wall), Grade Ⅱ (involvement of the periorbita/orbital fascia, extraconal fat, or medial lacrimal sac), and Grade Ⅲ (involvement of extraocular muscles, eyeball, orbital apex, or optic nerve). All cases underwent multi-disciplinary treatment (MDT), including otolaryngology, ophthalmology and oncology radiotherapy departments, and endoscopic nasal surgery. Survival curves were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method, Log-rank test and Cox risk model were used for univariate and multivariate analysis, respectively.Results:Primary tumor sites were maxillary sinus in 19 cases (31.7%, including 6 cases of pterygopalatine fossa), ethmoid sinus in 25 cases (41.7%, 5 cases with skull base bone involvement but not dura mater), nasal cavity in 11 cases (18.3%), frontal sinus in 3 cases (5.0%), and sphenoid sinus in 2 cases (3.3%). Clinical stages included stage Ⅲ in 53 (88.3%) and stage Ⅳ in 7 (11.7%). The surgical methods of orbital invasion cases were as follows: 18 cases (30.0%) of grade I underwent orbital bone wall resection with orbital fascia and orbital contents preserved; 36 cases (60.0%) in Grade Ⅱ were resected the involved orbital fascia, extra-cone fat and lacrimal sac and preserved the internal cone structure of extra-ocular muscle. Six cases (10.0%) were grade Ⅲ, of which 2 cases were subjected to selective extraocular muscle resection with preserving eyeballs, and 4 cases were subjected to orbital contents removal. The 3-year and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates of all patients were 76.7% and 63.3%, respectively, and the 5-year survival rate of the local recurrence-free group was significantly higher than that of the recurrence group (69.4% vs. 36.4%, χ2=3.91, P=0.048). The 5-year survival rates were significantly negatively correlated with the degrees of orbital invasions (83.3% for grade Ⅰ, 58.3% for grade Ⅱ and 33.3% for grade Ⅲ, ( χ2=10.49, P=0.005). The effects of T stages (66.7% in stage T3 vs. 33.3% in stage T4, χ2=7.21, P=0.007) and clinical stages (67.9% in stage III vs. 28.6% in stage IV, χ2=11.80, P=0.001) on survival rates were statistically significant. The 5-year survival rate of patients with cervical lymph node metastases was significantly lower than that of patients without metastasis (37.5% vs. 67.3%, χ2=8.32, P=0.004). The tumor-free survival rate was 56.7%. Cox multivariate analysis identified T stage [ HR=3.53 (95% CI: 1.31-9.52)] and clinical stage [ HR=35.14 (95% CI: 1.88-658.62)] as independent prognostic factors (both P<0.05). Conclusions:The outcomes of patients with orbital invasion in SNSCC are associated with T stage and clinical stage. If the muscle cone and the structures within the muscle cone are not invaded, eye-preserving surgery is feasible.

As the base of the three-tier rural health service network,primary health-care institutions are facing major bottlenecks,such as mismatches with residents'health service needs,shrinking capacity and serious patient losses.The formation of supply and demand service'stickiness'is a key path to promote patient primary care,maintain the sustainable development of the primary health service system,and improve the health of rural residents from a micro perspective,and it is also an important means to address the many challenges of the development of rural primary health care in the new era.Through the case study of X Township Health Center in Qianjiang District,Chongqing,this study found that the health centre was once caught in the difficulties of patient outflow,backward assessment and development restrictions,but in recent years,the institution has turned passivity into initiative,and gradually formed the service'stickiness'between supply and demand by optimizing the service contact process and improving the perceived quality of the residents.The formation of supply and demand'stickiness'is not only conducive to the retention of patients and the enhancement of health management,but also increases the income of primary health care institutions and promotes their sustainable development,which provides valuable practical experience for the transformation and development of primary health care.
